Spotlight on The Sleeping Beauty Auditions

West Australian Ballet is involving the wider community in its forthcoming production of The Sleeping Beauty.  This is the largest production ever staged by our Company, with over 40 dancers plus an additional 24 children of varying ages.

On 26 June, Ballet Master Craig Lord-Sole and Assistant Ballet Mistress/Education Officer Jennifer Loth held an open audition, attracting over 180 young people! It was an incredible response, much to the delight of Artistic Director Ivan Cavallari, who has invited all of those unsuccessful to attend a masterclass he will personally host. 

Ivan says "For this production we wanted to involve as much as possible the Perth community... to see 180 kids at an open audition - this is wonderful."

Congratulations to all who attended and we look forward to seeing the successful dancers on stage in September.
